UglyQuilt Phase 1 Updates

Kurt > 07-21-2019, 08:56 PM

Ending phase 1 of the under quilt program. I think I have made as many tweaks as I can until more feedback comes in from the quilts in the field. Here are some of the changes I've implemented during phase 1.

Changed fabric from 1.2oz MTN Hybrid to 1.6oz HyderD

Retains a little more warmth/blocks wind better

Matches hammock colors better

More colors for future

Addition of 2" grossgrain ribbon at head/foot ends to form cinch channel

Addition of 2nd edge seam/stitch to help create stiffer sides

Addition of center stitch on full length version to help keep insulation in place better

[*]Phase 2 will come with a price increase to $85/$95, information is now available on the website and will be live for orders in the web store, but at a limited quantity. This is to gauge interest in the quilts from website visitors. Looking forward to hearing you feedback on the quilts as you get them out in the wild!

Wow, triple digits? Definitely won't need a UQ in those temps! I am looking forward to cooler weather as well... less buggy.

I will be getting out on the21st of September to try this good looking ugly quilt out. At this time of year in the hills should be from 5°c to 0c (41f to 32f) at night. It will be a good test for the quilt. I will take it out for a quick set up this weekend coming just to get the quilt fitted to the hammock so it will be a really fast setup in the bush.

So I got out last weekend and spent the night in the bush.
Setup was easy, no gaps and when I tested it out it was really warm and even heat all over. At night it dropped to 40° for most of the night all was good but as the due started to form the underquilt started to sag. After hopping out and adjusting the quilt a little tighter. I was good for the rest of the night. I dont like to set underblanket up too tight, compressed insulation doesnt work as well but I think that might be the trick with this under quilt! Has anybody had the same issue with the quilt loosening up through out the knight?
